Florida Cites 4 Planned Parenthood Clinics for Violations

The state Agency for Health Care Administration said it also found that clinics in St. Petersburg, Naples, and Fort Myers have performed second-trimester abortions without a license to do so.

“These facilities have been notified to immediately cease performing second-trimester abortions,” AHCA spokesperson Shelisha Coleman said in a statement Wednesday. “The agency may take additional actions against these facilities, including administrative sanctions.”

The Tampa Bay Times reported that the agency could fine the clinics up to $500 per violation. A clinic in Pembroke Pines, in Broward County northwest of Miami, has been given until Aug. 15 to submit plans to fix its record-keeping procedures related to disposal of fetal remains.
